Ex Southland
Stags rugby captain Davin Heaps, who also played for the Highlanders,
Hurricanes and Blues, admitted in Invercargill Court, Friday, to the
charges of willfully attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Sycophantic references
-- yawn -- from former All Black buddies Justin Marshall, Kees Meeuws and
Simon Culhane failed to sway the judge.
That’s a breath-of-fresh-air
in itself.
Heaps (48) was
sentenced community detention and ordered to pay thousands of dollars
reparation after instructing an employee who suffered a hand injury on his farm
to lie to Worksafe investigators.
Surely having
played in so-many Super franchises, Air New Zealand could see fit to also included
Heaps in their next lavish safety video?
Help the bloke out of a hole - one he dug.
Lately I've been wondering, why Kiwis would bother with a genealogical DNA test, when it's invariably only going to show-up 'Rugby'?
Not that your grandmother is part Albanian & you didn't get your blue eyes off your father.
Still, this is N.Z after-all.
Who wouldn't want to be a part of Davin Heaps fine lineage?
